Is it really important to update N95 all the time to the latest firmware version?
What have those gained who updated to latest version, and what have those lost who are using the previous versions.

Is it really worth considering to update N95 while taking into account all the risks of phone turning into brick during process, non-functionality of all the previously installed 3rd Party software, and many more complications?

Does the new software really bring about dramatic changes to the N95 stability, start-up timings of the Java applications, improved menu structure, battery life etc. The presence of Flash Lite 3 may not be the key factor in updating N95.

What are the main plus points for N95 users to update their phones and
what are the main negative points that they should not go to update.

Please take part to discuss your good/ bad experiences in this regard in order to make other N95 users clear as to what should be done.

Have you read the Change Logs for the N95 Firmwares.? The improvements are vital in my personal opinion.

NSU having compatibility issues at the moment with Vista Business is stopping me update to the latest firmware on my N95-2, which has Auto Screen Rotate. An upgrade well worth having.

I used NSU to get 21.0.016 and I am happy I did it. The biggest improvement was with the WLAN connection, the old fw often failed to find my hidden home network, new fw has never missed it.

Previously the browser couldn't load webpages that were more than about 1.5mb and often crashed with multiple windows open, but now the browser works just fine with 4mb pages and multiple windows.

The only 3rd party sw that I had paid for was a game (Medal of Honor - what a waste of money that was) and that still works, but I did lose some of the free apps I had installed.

So yes, if you use the browser a lot over wlan than I'd say it's vital.
